WORKING WITH THE CITADEL THEATRE

At the Citadel, we believe in the power and importance of stories. We acknowledge the stories that have come before us since time immemorial. We create in Amiskwaciwâskahikan, the traditional and contemporary homeland of the Nehiyawak, Saulteaux, Stoney Nakoda, Haudenosaunee, Niitsitapi, Inuit, Dene, and Métis. We express deep gratitude for the knowledge that has long nurtured these lands. Treaty No. 6 was created with the intention of fostering harmonious co-existence. The Citadel recognizes our role and responsibility in being an active participant in reconciliation. In the spirit of reciprocity and respect, we seek to uphold the original intent of the Treaty and strive to create a shared narrative that honors our responsibility to this land and to each other. As a regional theatre, it is integral that we ensure that the stories we tell, as well as the composition of our artists, board, staff, students, and audience are reflective of the diverse lived experiences in this dynamic city.

The Citadel Theatre is in the heart of amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton, AB), and we are proud to call Treaty 6 territory home. As a regional theatre, it is integral that we ensure that the stories we tell, as well as the composition of our artists, board, staff, students, and audience are reflective of the diverse lived experiences in this dynamic city. We encourage submissions from professional artists who self-identify as members of under-represented communities. Our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Accessibility statements are at this link: https://citadeltheatre.com/about-us/equity-diversity-inclusion-and-accessibility/.
